Hello. In trying to work out why my disk space gets progressively consumed so that I repeatedly run out of disc space without any known reason, in examining my hidden files in my home directory, I found the file .xsession-errors, which is currently sitting at about 740MB, and has been growing in the last hour.
Does some uttility or command (with switches) exist, that can purge the file of redundant (for example, entries over a week old, or, entries from before the current boot session) entries, so as to reduce the file size to content that is necessary to retain for debugging? I am concerned that, should I simply delete the file, the system will crash or otherwise damage to the boot session, would occur. Thank you in anticipation. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
